Lay off New York, Ted Cruz
Hot Air ^ | 1/15/2016 | Mike Lupica

Posted on 01/15/2016 5:17:47 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

The next time Cruz shows up here he should tear himself away from his friends at Goldman Sachs and make a side trip to the Bronx and explain himself there on New York values; or to the Lower East Side, or Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or Jamaica, Queens, or 125th St. in Harlem. He should go talk to people in the Rockaways or Staten Island, the hardened survivors who bound together after Hurricane Sandy, about New York values. Or finally he should go all the way downtown, and back to September 2001.

Here is what New York values are: New York values are a young guy, a paralegal, literally giving somebody he doesn't know the shirt off his back on a subway because winter has finally come to the city and brought freezing temperatures with it. New York values are the New York taxi driver who traveled three boroughs across four days to find the guy who had left $1,400 in his cab, so he could return the money to him. You know what that really was? It was the real life of a city that Ted Cruz knows nothing about. He is simply another tourist here, one constantly on the make.

The best of this city is the best of this country, and always has been. When it was hit in a way that no American city had ever been hit, it came together and rose up together in a moment as thrilling as any America had ever seen.

Teddy's New York values are the same as Hillary's.

Because it was not just NYers who are responsible. You really need to get out of the liberal emotional state you are in and see someone about getting in touch with reality
We will add you to the prayer list

Does Cruz not realize that (God forbid) Cruz is President, he will be President of New York citizens too? Lord how stupid is this guy. This is worse or as bad as Obama saying that Pennsylvanians hug their bible and guns. I knew a first term President was a disaster and it has been. Cruz is a one-term Senator and will be pretty much the same as Obama.

I had lunch today with a guy who was a cop in Bed-Stuy from 1973 to 1985. All the criminals he and his buddies caught had to go to the hospital. Those who survived were eventually taken to jail. Believe me, New York is a tough town.

I would agree that the gentrification and tourists have toned it down. I can remember when tourists wouldn’t dare come here.

How about the unscrupulous values, ethics and morals at that big company where Cruz’s wife works? I guess Goldman Sachs values are A-OK.

Conservatives have ALWAYS made fun of liberal states and cities. NYC, LA, Hollyweird, Taxachusetts.

Stop acting like it’s a big deal just to prop up your liberal guy.

If you don’t know what kooky leftist “values” Cruz was referencing, you are a dunce. Not YOU, but the author.

huh?

I guess your not remembering when Trump called out all Iowans when he was losing to carson and said “What the hell are you doing, why I am losing to [carson], are you all stupid?”

people knew what Cruz meant Naps. Even the MSM and Trumpsters knew. Cruz won the exchange hands down.

Only tempted.

Smart move by Mr. Cruz. No Republican will win New York in the general. And meanwhile he just got the rest of Republican voters to stop and think about Mr. Trump, and lump him together with the other liberal politicians in New York City. What a smart move. They can now stop and think again how Mr. Trump has espouse liberal policies and values so wholeheartedly in his even recent past. GENIUS move actually. I think the Trump slide may finally begin after most pundits though the had his best debate performance yet.

Did the big apple tough guys get their little feelings hurt? Liberals are often offended at the littlest things, they go all 9-11 on you on you in a NY minute.
